No time to waste
           Fm
Just sitting and smoking the taste
            C                     Fm
No cars, no noise but the fan overhead
            C                             Fm 
The beer and me and the little guy by my side
             C
Just no time for fooling
                Fm
But the popcorn is full of butter and salt
            Em   
And that's how the night passes
            Fm  
So slow, so cool.

     Em                               Fm
No money, no food, but a full pack of cigarettes
          G
And the blues to keep me company

Stars, moons, and the women next door

All  crying for me to come over

My dreams slip into the trash

Right next to the old bottle of whisky


Ooh what a taste
              Em
That smile, those lips so free
          Fm            G
Just the beer and the little guy by my side.
